O Bairro Cidade Jardim Eldorado: contagem sob uma perspectiva da sustentabilidade urbana

Abstract

The monography proposal is the study of the consolidation characteristics of Cidade Jardim Eldorado a neighborhood of Contagem, by architect Sérgio Bernardes - in order to identify its frailties and its potential, in today`s context, under the perspective of urban sustainability. The analysis focuses on the process of the social-spatial progression of the neighborhood, given the limitations of an urban context characterized by economical and social environmental impacts. These impacts result from an accelerated urbanization process, with its origin in the implantation of Cidade Industrial Coronel Juventino Dias in Contagem. The Case Study is justified by the fact that the neighborhood projected under the garden city pattern presents singular characteristics concerning urban spatial organization, when compared to the context of the remaining neighborhoods in the town, which makes it relevant for an analysis of urban sustainability principles. The purpose is to contribute to the targetting of future interventions in the neighborhood, aiming at the optimization of the social spatial relations in the urban environment of the local population.
